A Charming Christmas Throw or Mini Quilt

Festive and Fun Holiday Sewing

The Charming Christmas Shortcut Quilt Pattern is designed around charm packs (5″ squares), making it especially friendly if you already have a holiday fabric stack or a Moda “Naughty or Nice” style collection.

 

The charm squares form the “tree blocks” and accent pieces, while the background supports them and frames the design. After cutting and sorting your pieces, the piecing goes quickly. Blocks are simple squares, half-square triangles (HSTs) or quartered units.

A contrasting binding in festive red, green or metallic thread can elevate the design and highlight the holiday theme.

Draped over the sofa, use as a wall quilt, or gift to someone who loves holiday décor.

The free pattern provided by the Fat Quarter Shop, also offers a pattern to make a mini version finishing to a quaint size: 26 1/2” x 26 1/2”, a delightful topper for Christmas decor, and a super weekend of holiday sewing.

Kimberly Jolly of The Fat Quarter Shop provides an easy step by step video to piece the charm squares, and sew rows together to build the Christmas tree. And in two hours you have a cute quilt. Watch the video below.
